Samsung Galaxy S5 rumored with Eye-Scanning technology

Shortly after Apple unveiled the fingerprint reader on the iPhone 5s,
Samsung went on the record stating it had no interest in following
Cupertino’s move into biometrics. Now, however, a rumor has surfaced
suggesting the South Korean company may attempt to one-up the
iPhone-maker with a futuristic eye-scanning security feature that could
make its debut on the Galaxy S5.AndroidSas first reported on the eye-scanning rumor earlier
today, noting that it doesn’t come from a trusted source or directly
from the company. We’re definitely taking this one with a grain of salt,
though we wouldn’t be surprised to see Samsung introduce some sort of
security feature in its upcoming iPhone 5s competitor. An eye-scanning
sensor also isn’t out of the question, with multiple reports suggesting
Amazon is working on similar technology, though with a different
application in mind.
The Galaxy S4 was officially announced last March, but we’re already hearing reports that Samsung may rush out the S5 in early 2014 to compete with Apple. AndroidSas suggests
the company will unveil its next flagship handset in late February at
Mobile World Congress 2014, though any big news would likely take place
at a special event rather than on the trade-show floor.
